Will Sony bundle the PS4 with the PS Vita?

Do you remember how the crowd reacted to the pricing point of Sony‘s upcoming PS4 at E3? I certainly did, it had me on the edge of my seat while waiting to hear those glorious words from Sony CEO Andrew House;

“I’m very proud to announce that the Playstation 4 will be available for 399 dollars!”

Now,Inside Gaming Daily reported from a “well placed anonymous source” that Sony will go head to head with Microsoft in that price range as well. They’re thinking about bundling the PS4 together with the PS Vita for the price of $499! That such a bundle would come eventually isn’t really that big of a surprise. But noone expected it so soon as this “source” said they’d release this by the end of 2013.

We all know that you’re able to play your PS4 games on the Vita through Remote Play, this is only true when the developers programmed this function into their game. However, this Remote Play function could really revitalize the PS Vita which has been in a bit of a slump lately.

How do you feel about this “PS4 PS Vita bundle“? Does this benefit the PS4 in their ‘Battle for Console Supremacy”? Or do you believe the Kinect would prove more valuable than a PS Vita?

As always, we will keep you updated on this news when Sony officially confirms or denies this rumor.

I’m 27 years of age from a little town called Herentals in Belgium. I’ve been gaming ever since i could walk (or somewhere around that age, hehe). Needless to say that gaming in general has been my biggest passion in life. Being a fan of many genres I particularly like to play RPG’s and MMO’s. I browse the web for good gaming stories, write some of my own and spend most of my time with my gorgeous girlfriend.

I think this would be a bold move for Sony considering that giving people a Vita for essentially $100 dollars (as opposed to the $250 price tag for a vita today) is probably selling at a big loss. However it seems that this may be their sneaky little way to steal some Xbox One customers. Speaking of the customers, though… this would be a HUGE win for new and existing Playstation fans.

I think a Vita is more valuable than the Kinect. The connect makes it more convenient to use you box as a media hub (whether it be as a cable box or netflix or what have you) but in terms of gaming, I think it will always be too gimmicky (though facial mapping on to characters is cool, but who is to say this cant be done on the PS4 camera?)

And the fact that the camera is optional for PS4, chances are there wont be w whole lot of support for move games which is great news for me as a gamer! Think of how many Xbox One games are going to be developed with gimmicky motion controls simply because of the fact that the Kinect is a part of the console?

I can be immersed fully in a video game by story, level design and graphics alone. I don’t need to be flailing my arms all over the place.
